ICONS - introduction

The third in the recent series of annual members' exhibitions was shown at the National Centre for Craft & Design

The ICONS theme inspired pieces for stars such as David Bowie, Elton John, Patti Smith, Tilda Swinton, Sir David Attenborough and Vivienne Westwood, and work based on design icons like the Anglepoise lamp, classic cars, religious icons and reliquaries and the Shard building. A dazzling array of techniques, styles and materials.
